The Railroad Marine Operations Yahoo! Group is the official online meeting place for the friends of the RMIG (Rail-Marine Information Group), to discuss topics previously published in TRANSFER, the official journal of the RMIG.
The group will also act as a clearinghouse for all other general inquiries and announcements of current or historical rail-marine content and modeling of such, and anything in between not having been previously covered in TRANSFER, regardless of the geographic location or era.
Please visit http://www.trainweb.org/rmig/ for more info on remaining RMIG back issues and rail-marine bibliographies.
Railroad Marine Operations Group Rules (PLEASE READ!)-
1. When applying to join group, a genuine interest in the subject must be shown. Any "I like boats and trains", "I have a harbor on my layout" or "sign me up" requests will be ignored and/or denied membership.
2. Absolutely no "me too" posts!
3. When posting, please sign your real name, not your Yahoo ID....Not only does it help when others want to contact you off list, but it's just the polite thing to do!
4. Please minimize any and all excessive quoting. Trim all forwarded messages from other groups, or they will be deleted.
5. Topics must not stray too far from railmarine operations, history, and modeling, unless deemed relative to the discussion by the moderator.
6. Posting of "FOR SALE","TRADE" or "WANT TO BUY" items is permitted, but MUST BE ON TOPIC and related to rail-marine subjects! Also, replys to such should be made OFF LIST to the originator of the message. You will be politely warned, but if ignored, said person(s) replying may run the risk of being put on moderated status.
7. Absolutely no tolerance for political discussions or personal attacks - one strike and you're out.
Thank you for your co-operation, and please enjoy and participate in the Rail Marine Operations forum!

List Owner/Moderator
